FAQs
What size should I order for my child?
We always recommend choosing based on age and head size circumference, not guessing.
Small: up to 2 years ( 42 - 46 CM)
Medium: ages 2–8 ( 46 - 51 CM)
Large: 8+ years and adults ( 52 - 61 CM)
If your child is between sizes, use the size chart to check head circumference and go with the size that will be the most comfortable. The stretch-fit design gives a snug, secure feel without squeezing.
Do I need to buy earplugs separately?
Yes. Earplugs are sold separately.
The Limmys headband is designed to be worn over earplugs to help keep them in place and reduce water going into the ears. This way you can choose the earplugs that work best for your child, and the headband helps keep everything where it should be.
Will this stay on during active swimming and diving?
The headband is made to stay put during lessons, pool play, and surface swimming, even with lots of movement.
The reinforced elastic edge and adjustable fit help it stay in place without you constantly stopping to fix it. It is not designed for high‑impact diving from height or extreme water sports.
Is it comfortable for long swimming sessions?
Yes. It is made from soft, premium elastic neoprene with a smooth inner lining that gently grips without digging in. Many parents say their kids forget they are even wearing it, even during longer swim sessions or back-to-back lessons.
Can adults use this, or is it just for kids?
Adults can absolutely use it. The Large size (8+ years and adults) is designed for teens and adults with sensitive ears, frequent swimmers, or anyone who wants extra support around ear protection in the water.
Does this completely keep water out of the ears?
The headband helps reduce water exposure and keeps earplugs securely in place. For best protection, it should always be used together with earplugs. The headband on its own is a support, not a full seal.
Is the material safe for sensitive or allergy-prone skin?
Yes. It is made from latex-free neoprene and gentle materials that are suitable for most children and adults with sensitive skin or allergy concerns.
Is it suitable for children with ear tubes (grommets)?
Yes. Many parents use it as an extra layer of protection for children with ear tubes, recurring ear infections, or very sensitive ears. Always follow your doctor’s advice when it comes to medical conditions or post-procedure care.
Can it be used in the sea as well as in pools?
Yes. It can be used in both pools and the sea. It is designed to handle chlorine and saltwater, and will last longer if you rinse it with fresh water after swimming and let it air dry.
Will it stretch out or lose shape over time?
The reinforced elastic edge helps it keep its shape and stay secure, even with regular use. It is designed to resist stretching, fraying, or tearing when cared for properly.
How do I care for the headband?
After each swim, rinse it with fresh water and leave it to air dry. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as that can damage the neoprene and elastic and shorten its lifespan.
Is this a replacement for medical treatment?
No. The headband is a supportive water accessory, not a medical device. It helps manage water exposure around the ears but does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Does it come with earplugs or other ear accessories?
No. Earplugs are sold separately. The Limmys swimming headband is designed to sit over earplugs to help keep them in place and reduce water entering the ears while swimming.
Can I dive with it, and will it stay in place?
The headband is designed to stay secure during normal swimming, pool play, and gentle surface diving. It is not intended for high-impact diving from height or extreme water activities. The reinforced elastic edge and adjustable fit help prevent slipping during everyday swimming.
What are swimming headbands used for?
Swimming headbands are used to support ear protection in the water. They help keep earplugs in place and reduce water exposure for swimmers with sensitive ears, ear tubes, or a history of ear infections.
What is the difference between a swimming headband and a swim cap?
A swimming headband is not the same as a swim cap. Swim caps are mainly for hair control and streamlining. Swimming headbands are designed for ear protection and are worn over earplugs to help keep water away from the ears. They do different jobs and can be used together.
Who should use a swimming headband?
Swimming headbands are helpful for children with sensitive ears or ear tubes (grommets), swimmers prone to swimmer’s ear or frequent ear infections, adults with sensitive ears or post-procedure care, and anyone who dislikes the feeling of water in their ears when swimming. Because they come in multiple sizes, they work for both kids and adults.
Is it adjustable?
Yes. The headband has an adjustable closure and a stretch-fit design. This allows you to get a secure, comfortable fit that feels snug without squeezing.
Does it come in different colours?
Yes. The headband comes in a range of colours so kids and adults can pick a style they actually like wearing.
Can it be used for surfing?
The headband is designed for swimming, pool use, and general water play. It is not recommended for high-impact sports like surfing, where strong waves and force can affect the fit and performance.
Is it machine washable?
For the longest life and best comfort, we recommend gentle hand washing in cold water and letting it air dry. Machine washing is not recommended, as it can damage the soft neoprene, elastic edging, and overall fit over time.
